We are very pleased to be working with the Roncesvalles Village BIA to bring back Canada’s best and brightest celebration of Polish culture, food, and dancing.

The Roncesvalles Polish Festival will fill Roncesvalles Village with the unique sights, sounds and tastes of Poland. The last festival hosted a record crowd of over 300,000 people who enjoyed the sights and sounds of 40 brilliant musical acts and over 100 unique vendors.

The 2017 Roncesvalles Polish Festival is expanding its horizons! In our thirteenth year, the Festival will feature an expanded festival site, more amusements, entertainment and attendees. With both local and international appeal the 2017 Roncesvalles Polish Festival provides a great opportunity for your organization to reach 300,000 people over two days in one of Toronto’s most vibrant and trendy areas. It will be an unforgettable weekend for your organization and its members!

We are continuing to expand the number of Polonia organizations participating in the festival, in order to share our unique Polish culture and heritage with our Canadian friends. That is why the participation of your organization and its members is key to the festival!

Kannuk
Kannuk vodka is a new and exciting craft spirit to hit the Canadian alcohol scene and is made by a Polish-Canadian distiller. Adam Szymków immigrated to Canada in 1990 as a young boy with his family escaping communism as many other Polish people had back in those days. His goal in life became to make the best Canadian vodka possible. Adam’s many years of trial and error lead to the creation of Kannuk Vodka, which in his words is a “Celebration of Canada’s AWESOMENESS and MULTICULTURALISM”. Not only is Kannuk vodka hand-made in small batches at Polonée Distillery in St. Catharines, but he also hand-makes each maple-wood-top himself. If you get a chance to spot a Kannuk bottle on an LCBO shelf, take a sniff of the wooden top and see for yourself the aromas coming from the wood roasting process. The vodka inside the elegant bottle is smooth and creamy and has a nice soft, sweet finish.
